Department of Transportation Year-End FY2017 Performance Evaluation (October 2017)

Strategic Policy Initiatives The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has identified several Strategic Policy Initiatives (SPIs) for fiscal year 2016-17 and beyond. For this performance evaluation, the Department has updated progress on initiatives from its Fiscal Year 2017 Performance Plan that capture the Department’s strategic and operational priorities. The updates reflect data available in spring 2017. Additional details on these initiatives are available in the Department’s Performance Plan, which may be accessed here. SPI 1 Safety: Move Colorado toward zero deaths by reducing traffic-related deaths by one-half by 2030. This includes reducing fatalities by 12 per year, from 548 in 2008 to 344 in 2025. CDOT aims to reduce fatalities to 440 for its one-year target (Dec. 31, 2017 target, or calendar year 2017 fatalities) and 416 for its three-year target (Dec. 31, 2019 target, or calendar year 2019 fatalities). SPI 2 Pavement Condition: Attain High or Moderate Drivability Life for 80 percent of sampled lane miles of pavement on the state highway system by 2025. CDOT plans to achieve 79 percent1 High/Moderate Drivability Life for its one-year target (June 30, 2017 target, or fiscal year 2017 pavement condition), down from 80 percent in fiscal year 2016. The three-year target is 69 percent (June 30, 2019 target, or fiscal year 2019 pavement condition). SPI 3 Travel-Time Reliability: Slow the growth of congestion and achieve satisfactory travel-time reliability on Interstate 25 in the Front Range and in the Interstate 70 West Mountain Corridor. One- and three-year goals include: • • • •

Reduce the Planning Time Index Achieve a PTI of 2.70 in 2019. Reduce the Planning Time Index Achieve a PTI of 2.90 in 2019. Reduce the Planning Time Index Achieve a PTI of 1.80 in 2019. Reduce the Planning Time Index Maintain a PTI of 1.80 in 2019.

for Northbound Interstate 25 from a projected average of 2.57 in calendar year 2017 to an actual average of 2.50. for Southbound Interstate 25 from a projected average of 2.73 in calendar year 2017 to an actual average of 2.70. for Westbound Interstate 70 from a projected average of 1.71 in calendar year 2017 to an actual average of 1.70. for Eastbound Interstate 70 from a projected average of 1.82 in calendar year 2017 to an actual average of 1.80.

SPI 4 Maintenance: Maintain CDOT’s roadways and facilities to minimize the need for replacement or rehabilitation in a constrained funding environment. This includes achieving an overall Maintenance Levels of Service (MLOS) grade of C+ for the state highway system in fiscal year 2017 and a C for fiscal year 2019, compared to an actual grade of C+ in fiscal year 20162.

1 2

The pavement targets for fiscal years 2017 and 2019 were updated in April 2017 to reflect new pavement condition information and new forecasts. The overall Maintenance Levels of Service grade for fiscal year 2016 was revised to a C+ in late calendar year 2016.

Operational Measures SPI 1—Safety: Move Colorado toward zero deaths by reducing traffic-related deaths by one-half by 2030. This includes reducing fatalities by 12 per year, from 548 in 2008 to 344 in 2025. CDOT aims to reduce fatalities to 440 for its one-year target (Dec. 31, 2017 target, or calendar year 2017 fatalities) and to 416 for its three-year target (Dec. 31, 2019 target, or calendar year 2019 fatalities). Major Functional Area – Safety Process – CDOT implements a variety of processes to mitigate injuries and fatalities on Colorado’s roadways. For example, the Department qualifies, selects, advertises and awards Highway Safety Improvement Program projects. Projects that are selected address identified crash patterns, which are mitigated by the scope of the project and meet a minimum benefit/cost ratio of 1.0. CDOT’s goal is to meet a program-wide benefit/cost ratio of 2.0.

SPI 4—Maintenance: Maintain CDOT’s roadways and facilities to minimize the need for replacement or rehabilitation in a constrained funding environment. This includes achieving an overall Maintenance Levels of Service (MLOS) grade of C+ for the state highway system in fiscal year 2017 and a C for fiscal year 2019, compared to an actual grade of C+ in fiscal year 2016. Major Functional Area – Operations and Maintenance Process – Under nine Maintenance Program Areas, CDOT performs many processes to maintain the state highway system. For example, the Roadway Surface area includes sealing potholes and blading unpaved surfaces. The Structure Maintenance area includes painting bridges, repairing expansion joints and patching bridge decks. The Snow and Ice Control area includes plowing snow and taking avalanche control measures.

Properly implemented and maintained longitudinal pavement markings convey directional information, location of the road center and edges, the presence of passing or nopassing zones, and an indication that a driver is occupying the correct lane. 11
